Chapter 3: Pre-Regional Preparation.
"Alright guys tomorrow during our break, we will go on a trip!" Ruka chirped.
"A Trip to..where exactly?" Teru asks getting his deck.
"To the beach!"
"But why?"
"Training and to have fun while it lasts."
Kyohei looks at the deck Kiba gave him.
"Well I guess we could use some training, and can Meiko also come along?"
"Meiko is always welcome!" Ruka smiled.
"Well somebody is happy today.." Kiba chimed in.
Kyohei Saito, a Second year 16 year old who has no parents, and moved to a school called Miyaji Academy, which had a whole different uniform, and the school system was a lot stricter, but that doesn't stop Kyohei from doing what he loves most, Cardfight Vanguard!
Kyohei and Meiko start packing their bags for a three night trip.
As Kyohei finishes packing, Meiko enters his room.
"Kyohei could you come here for a second?" Meiko asks.
"Alright, what do you need help on?"
Meiko gives him a card out of her drawer.
"I want you to teach me, so would you..please build a deck?"
"Alright, I don't see why not, since were on a trip to train."
Meiko smiles, and Kyohei had a feeling that the smile was familiar.
"Alright i'll be working on it."
Kyohei finishes the deck for Meiko, and they both head to the place to be picked up.
They meet up with Teru and the other members and Kiba comes in with his van.
"What the hell, Kiba can drive?!"
Ruka appears out of the Shotgun window.
"Okay guys put your stuff in the trunk, and get in." She addressed closing the window.
They all head towards the beach, for a nice relaxing break.
Kyohei notices a weird looking man, with red hair and some Pink curly thing.
"Who is that..he must be."
The weird man looks over and sees Kyohei.
"Who is that.." He wondered.
They all arrive where they were staying and training, a huge cabin, with three rooms.
"Okay guys just put your stuff down, and were gonna eat dinner!"
Everyone settled in for the night.
Ruka stands on top of the table.
"Alright who's ready for cardfighting!"
"Do you really have to stand on the table." Teru questions eating his food.
"I need to make an announcement, now we have at least five tables, lets get fighting!"
The club starts to go against each other, and everyone seems to enjoy it.
"Okay Meiko I will teach you the basic rules..so imagine that your on the surface of Planet Cray."
"What is Planet Cray? Is it an Alien planet?"
"Its a planet where all these units are from."
Kyohei and Meiko imagined themselves on Cray.
"We are both spirits here, but once we flip over these cards..we become that card, that is called the Vanguard."
Meiko seemed to understand.
"Okay, so..now what?"
"We both say in unison, Stand Up, Vanguard!" Kyohei explains getting ready to flip his card.
"Okay Stand Up!"
"The"
"Vanguard!"
RUKA: DAMAGE 3 VS TERU: DAMAGE 6
GAME OVER, WINNER: RUKA TOHRU!
"Yay I won..but this is only training."
She notices that Kyohei was teaching Meiko how to play.
Teru and Ruka walk over to them.
"Alright Ahsha will attack your Vanguard!"
MEIKO: DAMAGE 4 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 5
"Now my Green shot elf will finish this!"
"I don't guard.."
MEIKO: DAMAGE 4 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 6
GAME OVER, WINNER: MEIKO SAITO!
"Wow Meiko won her very first card fight!" Ruka smiles and starts cheering for her.
"Kyohei, shall we fight?" Teru asks.
Kyohei nods his head.
"I needed to test this deck out."
"Of course man any time."
The others finish their fights and sit around to watch Kyohei and Teru fight.
"Now Stand Up!"
"The"
"Vanguard!"
"Starting Legend Ambrosius!"
"Fullbau.."
Teru was astonished.
"Shadow Paladins, are you...serious?!" He asks in fear.
"I'll go first, I draw and I ride Blaster Javelin."
"Blaster Javelin gains 2000 PWR as long as Fullbau remains in the soul, and Fullbau's skill triggers, I search my deck for Blaster Dark."
Kyohei gives the turn to Teru.
"Alright I draw, and I ride the Little Sage Marron!"
"I move Ambrosius back, and I attack with Marron!"
"I don't guard.."
"Hah I got a critical trigger, and I deal two additional damage to you!"
TERU: DAMAGE 0 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 2
"And with that my turn is over." Teru smiles being able to dish out two damage.
"I draw." Kyohei smirks grabbing a certain card out of his hand.
"Arise and Destroy, My Avatar!"
"Avatar?!" Everyone questions.
"I ride, Blaster Dark!"
"Woah, I didn't see that coming at all!" Teru chimes.
"Now counterblast, Starting Legend Ambrosius goes away."
"I call, Apocalypse Bat, Knight of Darkness Rugos, and Black Sage Charon!"
"Now Charon will attack Marron!"
TERU: DAMAGE 1 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 2
"Now with support from Apocalypse Bat, Blaster Dark will attack your Vanguard!"
"Alright Epona will guard the attack!"
"Trigger check, and I get nothing aww, oh well Rugos will attack then."
TERU: DAMAGE 2 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 2
"And thats my turn there."
"Alright I draw, and I ride Covenant Knight Randolf, and I call Knight of Truth's Gordon!"
"Archer of Aerial Tower, and Lake Maiden Lien to rear guard, and Lien supports Gordon will attack your Vanguard!"
"I don't guard."
TERU: DAMAGE 2 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 3
"Now with support from Aerial Tower, go Randolf!"
"I don't guard."
"Luck is really in my favor today! Critical trigger, all effects to Randolf!"
TERU: DAMAGE 2 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 5
Meiko starts to get concerned.
"At this rate he is just going to lose, he isn't guarding!"
Kyohei laughs.
"What's so funny?" Teru asks.
"Black wings, to cast a shadow upon the battlefield, I ride! Phantom Blaster Dragon!"
"The skill of Blaster Dragon, I retire Rugos, and I add Phantom Blaster Overlord to my hand."
"I call Nightmare Painter, and I send an Abyss Freezer to the soul."
"I move back Charon, I call Darkness Maiden, Macha, and I call Blaster Dark!"
"With support from Charon, Macha will attack your Vanguard!"
"I guard!"
"With support from Apocalypse Bat, Fly Phantom Blaster Dragon!"
"Urgh, I don't guard!"
"Trigger check, heh Critical Trigger, the power to Dark, and my Vanguard gets the critical!"
TERU: DAMAGE 4 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 5
"Now supported by Nightmare Painter, Blaster Dark strike!"
"I-I Nullify the attack!"
Kyohei smiles.
"Well then I end my turn." Passing the turn onto Teru who was sweating like crazy.
"Hehe, I ride the King of Knights Ezer, then I call Knight of Silence Gallatin, and Marron"
"Now I liberate the Generation Zone!"
"Go Stride Generation, Vague Sacred Knight, Gablade!"
"Now with support from Marron, go Gallatin!"
"I guard.."
"Fine then, Archer supports go Gablade!"
"Mac Lir will nullify the attack!"
"WHAT! F-Fine then Triple Drive, and no triggers..whatever go with support from Lien, Gordon!"
"Macha intercepts..and Grim Reaper guards."
"No..NO!" Teru cries out.
"What a shame, he even used a Stride card, but still couldn't defeat Kyohei..he must be something else huh." Meiko adds.
"Final Turn!"
Everyone jumped out of their seats.
Ruka however smiles as she sees a bond between Kyohei and the new Shadow Paladins.
"Crying out in despair in the chaos that is silence. The power of shadowy darkness, obscuring all vision, is mine. I cross break ride! Phantom Blaster Overlord!"
"I call Dark Mage, Badhabh Caar, and his skill, I call Blaster Javelin replacing Charon."
"Now with support from Apocalypse Bat, Fly Phantom Blaster Overlord! Apocalypse bat's skill, I soul blast one he gains 6000 PWR, and Phantom Blaster Overlord's skill, Counterblast and discard another copy, he gains another 10000 PWR and one critical!"
"And thats not all, The Break Ride skill of Phantom Blaster Dragon, I retire Badhabh Caar, Javelin, and Nightmare Painter, I draw 2, countercharge 3 and you can"t guard with a grade one or higher!"
Everyone started chattering.
"Why would he ever use such a cruel deck..?"
"Now Twin Drive, get Draw, and Critical trigger, the critical stays with Overlord, and all the power goes to Blaster Dark!"
Overlord strikes Teru, and he screams.
TERU: DAMAGE 6 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 5
GAME OVER, WINNER: KYOHEI SAITO!
Ruka claps.
"Amazing, I can see a bond between you and your new paladins. Now get some rest everyone."
Kiba walked up to Kyohei.
"You seemed to have use that deck well, however I can't see a bond, how come she can."
Kyohei Shrugs.
"I'm not so sure either, you can ask her anyways."
Everyone immediately fell asleep.
Kyohei's dream...
"Fly Phantom Blaster Overlord, attack Luquier!"
Ruka immediately fell to the ground, with a cut that leaked blood.
"No..NO Did I just..hurt her?"
Kyohei starts running around, not knowing what he could do.
"No...NOO!"
He wakes up in the middle of the night, and walks outside.
"The night is so..beautiful.." He mutters looking right at the moon.
Ruka saw Kyohei outside, and also decided to spend some time outside.
"The moon's beautiful isn't it?" Ruka smiled wearing some white dress.
"Y-Yeah, it is..."
"So, Kyohei what are you doing up in the middle of the night?"
Kyohei thought about.
"Should I really, just tell her now?"
"I just had a really bad nightmare" Kyohei lied.
"Oh I see, I also had a nightmare too." She lied not looking straight at Kyohei.
Kyohei sat silently.
"I never had a problem until the first day of school, but the night before school start, I saw a moon like this with someone...special."
"Well, you'll find this person soon.." Kyohei hopes.
She smiles again thanking him silently.
"Alright, I'll be heading inside now." She walks back inside.
"He will find out soon enough, I hope."
Everyone got up for the morning.
"Alright, today were just gonna spend time at the beach!"
Everyone cheered, and all decided to kill time.
As they all play at the beach, Kyohei who has yet to even step foot in the water nor the sand, was looking out at the sea.
"Someone...Special...Special..." He thought to himself every second.
Suddenly he felt someone pushing him and he landed right on the sand.
Ruka laughed hard.
"You should just have fun, instead of looking at the sea Kyohei!"
She jumped down near Kyohei, and grabbed his hand.
"Come on, lets go to the sea!" She said excitedly.
They both enter the warm shallow waters of the Sea.
"Mmmm it feels soo nice here, don't you think Kyohei?"
"Yeah..but don't push me off, and think you are able to draaaaaagggg" Kyohei yelled, being pulled into the water.
They both saw things in the water that they never saw.
Evening came, and everyone went back to their campsite.
"Wow, the beach was amazing!" Teru shouts eating really fast.
Everyone talked about their experiences.
Ruka like the night before, stands on the table again.
"Alright time for some Card fight training!"
Meiko walks up to Kyohei.
"Kyohei, how about fighting me for real this time.."
Kyohei nods his head.
"Stand Up!"
"The"
"Vanguard!"
"Maiden of Delphinium!"
"Fullbau!"
Kiba watched the fight between Meiko, and Kyohei.
MEIKO: DAMAGE 4 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 5
"Now attack with a total of 43000 PWR!"
"Generation Guard! skill another 10000 Shield has been added, and I guard even more!"
"Hmph I end my turn."
"I draw, and I cross break ride the Vanguard, Phantom Blaster Overlord!"
Meiko starts to get concerned for herself.
"No..not that thing again!"
"Counterblast, and I discard another copy of him, and with support from Apocalypse bat, he will attack, with additional 4000 PWR added to bat, to add 10000 PWR total!"
"Now finish this Phantom Blaster Overlord!"
MEIKO: DAMAGE 6 VS KYOHEI: DAMAGE 5
GAME OVER, WINNER: KYOHEI SAITO!
"Wow, that was...quick?"
Kiba got angry.
"Special Bond, what the hell is this special bond, what a load of bull shit." He muttered going back inside the cabin.
Ruka seems to be satisfied with the result of a new change.
Everybody goes inside to fall asleep..
Ruka's dream...
"Someone Special, I can see that in Kyohei, oh why..I'm older, yet I feel like he is the one!"
"I accidentally kissed him, but..oh screw it, i'll tell him once were alone somewhere, I just hope he.."
She wakes up in the middle of the night sweating.
She gets up wearing the same white dress as the night before, and sees Kyohei sitting on a table again.
"Kyohei..what are you doing out here?"
He blushes seeing her in that outfit for a second time.
"Oh..uh another bad dream haha.." Kyohei lied.
"You know..the moon was as beautiful as the day before."
Kyohei and Ruka sits next to each other.
"You're right Ruka, it is really beautiful."
She fell asleep with her head leaning against Kyohei's shoulder.
"W-WHAT?!" Kyohei yells getting out of that position.
His face turns extremely red.
Ruka wakes up, and her face turns redder.
"I'm..Sorry Kyohei, I-I didn't mean too I just.."
Kyohei was burning hot, and sat in the shade of a big tree.
Kyohei fell asleep under a tree, and Ruka sat behind where he was sitting, and also fell asleep..
Ruka woke up in time to wake the others, but Kyohei was about to feel the rage of Meiko..
"Alright everybody its time to wake up!"
Meiko got up first and saw Kyohei asleep under the tree.
"KYOHEI!" She yelled walking furiously over to him.
She slaps his face waking him instantly.
"AHHHH Where..am I?"
"You fell asleep under a tree you idiot!"
Ruka laughs.
"Those two are cute." She muttered to herself.
"Okay guys, today we are actually going up to the mountains!"
Kyohei read in a magazine, the mountains were ancient and people would journey there.
"I wonder.." He asked himself.
As everyone checks out the ancient things, Kyohei notices the same man with that red hair, and weird pink curly thing.
He immediately decided to run after him.
"Hey wait up!" Kyohei shouts running towards him.
The weird man ran into the forest and Kyohei followed.
"Kyohei where are you going!" Ruka ran after him.
The weird man led Kyohei to an open field.
"Hey, who-who are you!" Kyohei asked catching his breath.
The weird man looked back.
He held up a deck and a card fighting table appeared.
"So you want to have a card fight huh?"
"Stand Up."
"The"
"Vanguard!"
"Fullbau!"
"Chrono Dran..G.."
"What-what clan?"
Ruka saw that he started to card fight.
"Kyohei..No!"
"Stride Generation..Interdimensional Beast, Upheaval Pegasus."
"Skill, all your rear guards are sent to the bottom of the deck, and you call out the same number from the top your deck."
Unfortunately for Kyohei sitting at 5 damage, he ended up calling his last two heal triggers.
"Pegasus, attack.."
"N-No guard.."
The weird man with red hair, and weird pink curly thing drew three critical triggers, obliterating Kyohei.
KYOHEI: DAMAGE 6 VS THE WEIRD MAN WITH RED HAIR, AND WEIRD PINK CURLY THING: DAMAGE 5
GAME OVER, WINNER: THE WEIRD MAN WITH RED HAIR, AND WEIRD PINK CURLY THING!
The weird man grabs two cards out of his pocket, and gives it to Kyohei.
"A G unit.."
The man disappeared out of sight.
"Kyohei!" Ruka shouts running over to him. She trips off of a rock.
"Ruka be careful" He yells grabbing Ruka.
She laughs.
"Thanks Kyohei, lets head back now."
As they both head back, a weird man with blond hair watches them.
The rest of the evening everyone spent card fighting for regionals, and fell asleep..
Kyohei, and Ruka's dream...
A dark aura enshrouds Kyohei.
Kyohei rages.
"FINAL TURN!"
The bond that Ruka sees between him and the paladins disappear.
"Kyohei No!"
She rams into Kyohei, and they both fall.
Kyohei returned to his normal self, and screamed, ashamed of being near Ruka.
"I'm..really..SORRY!" They both cried waking up again the middle of the night.
Kyohei goes outside and looks at the moon, beautiful as yesterday.
A blonde man and a woman with Green hair were watching Kyohei.
"Kyohei your outside again."
Kyohei turns to see Ruka again.
"I just...had anoth-"
"Another bad dream." She interrupts smiling.
"I don't get it, why do I keep having them.."
Ruka starts to become more sadder.
"I also have been getting bad dreams too."
The two mysterious people walk over tp them.
"And we will be the one answering any questions you guys have." They added.
"Who are you guys?!"
They both give Kyohei a card, and runs off into the tree.
"Kyohei...ever since I met you, I feel like there was.."
Ruka stopped what she said.
"Nevermind..well have a good night!" She runs back into the cabin.
"I feel like there is something special, that I have to tell her..soon.."
Everyone woke up, and started packing.
"Alright folks, now that Regionals is coming up, we gotta think of a team name."
"Hmm..lets call ourselves Team Miyaji Academy!"
"Stupid name, lets call ourselves The Gods." Kiba added.
"How about we call ourselves, Team Ultra Burst?"
Everyone seemed to like the name.
"Alright regionals here we come!"

Kyohei's team was placed in group C.
"Alright team lets do this!"
